Great architecture is a lasting m e m o r y , a spark of inspiration, a curiosity. It is a mood, a dream, or a f e e l i n g that stretches beyond its physical form. Architecture always begins as f i c t i o n ; thus, no boundaries should hinder an architects imagination. If the design process began with practicality, wed be engineers.

THE G.O. HOUSE

RedBird Mission Affordable Housing

O B J E C T I V E : to design housing units which encourage community interaction, are economically efficient, and use the Green Oak centers of white oak trees as the primary structural material.

note: the design of this project was done collaboratively, but the drawings are personal works.

THE G.O. HOUSE

RedBird Mission Affordable Housing

Green Oak (G.O.) Research | Students and faculty at UT are working toward developing contemporary construction techniques using un-dried green oak members. Currently, 4x6 centers of white oak logs have low-value uses including railroad ties and palettes because the drying expense for these members is too high to enable their widespread use structurally. Microunit Concept | The units are small but functional for a single person or couple. The floorplan shown is of four units which have private porches but share key elements such as walkways and yards. The goal was to foster community but to use as little resources as possible. One unit is larger and is handicap accessible.

Green Oak Bent System | The single bent design and configurations below are the start of a construction method students are developing. Using this system, my partner and I worked within the bounds of an 8 structural grid.

CAMPGROUND BOARDWALK

4-H Campers Cabins at Lone Oaks Farm

O B J E C T I V E : to create a living environment in which campers are immersed in nature, experiencing Lone Oaks Farm firsthand through sounds, smells, and sights.

CAMPGROUND BOARDWALK
Exposure | The cabins line a shallow hill facing South onto Waterfall Pond. The outer layer of fenestration consists of operable windows which would remain open during the summer months. Tall screens on the inner walls and clerestory windows on the north walls create airflow and passive cooling. Each cabin can be completely enclosed and heated during the winter months. Cisterns collect rainwater for use in the bathroom sinks.

A TEAR, A FRACTURE

Arlington National Cemetery Reception

O B J E C T I V E : to create a sacred space within the Cemetery where mourning families awaiting a funeral procession can find peace and comfort. The space is sacred by nature, but the design and materiality of the structure will determine the experience.

A TEAR, A FRACTURE

Arlington National Cemetery Reception

Purity of Form Beginning from a pure cube, the experience is a tear, a fracture in the heart of a mourning mother or son.

Threshold The torn cube formed a threshold for the funeral procession, dividing the sacred and the profane spaces.

Descent An art gallery became a long ramp descending toward the procession path a story below.

Environmental Response The buildings form is like a rock split apart in an earthquake. Indirect sunlight illuminates the paintings.

Stitching An underground level was added to house the reflection rooms and stitch the buildings together, representing healing.

A R L I N G T O N G AT E W AY

Arlington National Cemetery Visitors Center

O B J E C T I V E : following the exploration of sacred space design in the previous project, we were instructed to design a profane counterpart for the cemetery: a visitors center. The challenge was to give profane program elements sacred value without becoming the cemeterys focal point.

FURNITURE DESIGN

Experiments in furniture production

Re-purpose | Summer 2013 | When I interned at the Knox Heritage Salvage Room I was inspired by the beauty of old wood marked with scratches, chips, and faded paint. I needed assistance with the actual assembly, but I developed the design.
